Implausible

Rating: 6/10 (26 July 2005)

The many implausibilities, inconsistencies, not to mention scientific inaccuracies insult the viewer's intelligence. By the time the technology is ready for the successful cloning of humans, scientists should be able to tweak some gene to make clones not have brains. There is no way a clone could ever have the original's memories. A clone is no different from a twin. And if they are engineered to have no interest in sex, why do they need to be kept apart? And why do they end up having sex at all? Why does Jordan have a manicure and plucked eyebrows? How do they get into accident after accident with only the slightest scratch? If they can grow cloned babies in tubes, why do the clones have to give birth them? Why are they taught to read? Why are they allowed to have bacon? Would you want your organ donor to eat bacon? Wouldn't there have been an easier way to get rid of them than to make up that whole Island story?
